Summary
Today Dan traveled across the country to sit down with Alex Chopp, one of the founders of @latitudeoutdoors to explore how saddle hunting can be a legitimate tool for Western big game hunters. Alex shares the origin story behind the brand, the challenges and lessons learned while building a company from the ground up, and how Latitude has become one of the most recognized names in the saddle hunting space. The conversation also dives into the wildly popular Grit Series on YouTube, discussing the adventures, strategy, and storytelling that have helped inspire hunters across the country. Dan and Alex unpack what makes the series resonate with hunters and why public-land hunting continues to captivate so many outdoorsmen. From there, the discussion shifts into the nuts and bolts of saddle hunting in the West. Whether you're chasing elk, mule deer, whitetails, or other big game, Alex breaks down the advantages, limitations, and common misconceptions surrounding saddle systems. They cover mobility, weight savings, setup efficiency, and how saddle hunting can help hunters stay adaptable in constantly changing conditions. Finally, Alex walks through the Latitude gear system and explains how today's saddle hunting setups can help increase opportunities and efficiency on public land. If you've ever wondered whether a saddle belongs in your Western hunting arsenal, this episode will give you a practical look at the tactics, gear, and mindset that are helping hunters find success across the country. 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxe…
